I was there as a 12-yr-old believing my team was the best ever. That day we were just fantastic. Think I had my long knitted scarf that day, was a bit cold but we soon warmed up once the goals started going in!

Don Rogers was an amazing player. I reckon he could beat 11 players in a lift/elevator (for our U.S. Friends but he didn't just beat them his delivery after that was superb too. Clever player and one of those that could beat defenders at walking pace.

Davech can you remind me of Phillip? Was this Iain Phillip, big guy from Dundee?

Was only the fact that england at the time didn't use wingers stopped him getting a shedfull of caps.

Georgie Best wasn't playing that day, neither was Bobby Charlton and the Lawman was a sub. Nevertheless, the record books will forever show that Crystal Palace beat them 5-0.

Easily makes the top 5 results in Palace's entire history.

Rogers was as good as you say. He was the best in England but, as John Jackson had already discovered, Sir Alf had no interest in players from an unfashionable south London club. And he also had no interest in flair players. He wanted runners !
